ALESTORM Introduce New Guitarist
September 16, 2008, 16 years ago
Founding ALESTORM guitarist Gavin Harper recently announced he had left the band. The group has since issued the following update:
"Alright lads & lasses,It is with great pleasure (and relief) that I announce we've found a new guitarist!
Enter Mr. Tim Shaw. The more eagle-eyed watchers of the underground amongst you may know him as the mastermind behind the epic black metal project FYRDSMAN, and as the guitarist of the now-departed death metal titans PREMITHON. He's a beastly good guitarist, and a great lad to boot. It's gonna be a fucking blast when we get up on stage and in the studio.
Gavin's shoes are going to be tough ones to fill, but that's OK, because Tim has big feet. And you know what they say about guys with big feet..."
